Montana

Every time I have the opportunity to go back to Montana, I am reminded just how much I love it. I will probably never live there again, which I am okay with since I love Bern so much, but my heart is truly there. I love going back and seeing people and places that I love and have such wonderful memories of. We were able to go to Montana last week for the Lind family reunion.

As per our usual tradition, all of us girls had our nails done. We went to a place in Missoula this time instead of Helena since we were all staying at my Uncle Lee's cabin. It was so fun to go with all the girls!

We then met in Bonner for the first day of the reunion. The kids (and papa) threw water balloons and played on this fun water slide bounce house. Poor Atreyu had gotten dehydrated and ended up sleeping most the evening.

When we got back to the cabin that night, Jesse took a great picture of the kids on the dock at twilight and then my step-brother, Jesse, took one of our family. I love how they turned out.

We spent the next day at the cabin. This place has so many wonderful memories for me. It was one of my most favorite places on earth. Papa and Tim took the kids on kayak rides; Jesse, Chris, Tim, and I took out the kids on the jet skis; we went tubing and just had fun playing and visiting.

I am so thankful for my family and the closeness and love I feel with each one of them. I have been truly blessed with such a wonderful family whom I thank my Heavenly Father for every day. I love that my kids enjoy being with their cousins as much as I did as a kid and still do to this day. Families are forever.
